Today I'm joining the Serendipity Stamps Spring Fever challenge - this is the first time I've played there! I inked up my Serendipity Stamps Kitty with Easter Eggs for the first time - I've had this cutie since last fall! This makes for a great opportunity to play in Darnell's fourth NBUS challenge. If you don't know what NBUS is, check out the link here. The kitty is coloured with Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the Easter eggs.
Another first for me - an inked rainbow! I learned this technique in the Stretch Your Dies Online Card Class - Day 6 - Border Dies - Laura Bassen DIY Stencils. I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside Border die to create a mask/stencil and then inked a rainbow with Distress Inks: Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive, Broken China, and Dusty Concord. I don't have the proper inking tool so I used a cut-up kitchen sponge - it did the trick! The rainbow panel is die-cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle and popped up with a piece of fun foam. Three coordinating sequins were added. The sentiment is from Newton's Nook Basket of Wishes clear stamps.
I would like to support these other challenges:
- Crafty Gals Corner Hippity Hop 1/2
- One Crazy Stamper AG 5/5
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Spring Pinterest Inspiration 2/5
Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!
Love, love inked rainbow Kitty, makes for a really striking card.
